U.N. official asks if 1 million Syrians must die before world acts

John Ging, director of operations at the U.N. ****** for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said the humanitarian crisis was getting even worse with almost 2.8 million refugees in neighboring states and 6.5 million displaced in Syria. Moreover, Damascus has a deliberate strategy of denying medical care to the wounded by removing anything that could be used as medical supplies from convoys, Ging added, calling this \"an abomination, indescribably unacceptable in 2014.\" \"The valid question to ask those political leaders is ... how many poor people will you accept to be killed before you do something different?\" he asked.
